A shorter week for the children but as always a very busy one!
In English we have continued to use the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain' to inspire our writing. We have been writing 'Diamante' Poems. These are poems written in the shape of a diamond using nouns, verbs and adjectives. The children have written some wonderful poems. Next week we will be writing Africa inspired poems using the same structure.
In maths we have been partitioning numbers in different ways using tens and ones. The children have worked well in pairs using base 10 to find as many different ways as they can. We have also been recapping on subtraction where there is no crossing of the tens, trying hard to improve our mental skills.
We are continuing our topic 'African Adventure' this half term. This week we have been comparing a typical school day for a child in Urban Kenya with our own school day. We have listed similarities and differences.
Next week is our Skipping Festival and the children have been busy working on their skips. I am sure it will be a wonderful morning for all the children.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Today sees a very different end to a half term with the children making some of their own rules. It is hard to believe that after this holiday we will be in the final half term of this school year.
This week we have continued our work looking at the Human and Physical Features of both Urban and Rural Kenya. The children have used this knowledge to think about where they would prefer to live (Rural or Urban Kenya). They have used geographical reasons for their answers.
In English we have been planning and writing a different version of the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have written some amazing stories and enjoyed sharing them with a partner and some the whole class. We will be continuing this story after the holidays using it to inspire some poetry writing.
We have lots of exciting things to look forward to after the holidays. Our Skipping Festival and trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park to name but a few.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Next week will be the final week before the May half term holiday. What a quick and busy half term it has been!
In English this week we have been re-telling the story of 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have mapped out the story and then rewritten it in their own words. I was very impressed with their stories. Next week we will be writing a different version of this story called 'Lila and the Secret of Sun'.
In maths we have been focusing on missing number problems. The children have been learning how using the 'inverse' operation can help us to find the missing numbers in a number sentence. We have also continued our work on Reasoning Problems.
All the children should have brought home a letter about the Skipping Festival this week. In PE we have been busy working on the individual and group skips we will competing in on the day. The children are all really enjoying our skipping sessions. On the day all the children will get the chance to take part in some skipping.
We have continued, and completed, our unit on sculpture this week. We have been looking at the work of Eva Rothschild. The children made their own creations using spaghetti and marshmallows. They were very creative!
Enjoy your weekend.
